Once again the greatness and the broadminded nature of the Telugu people is elevated. Telugu audience always stand top in encouraging the talents irrespective of the regional barriers.

And the success of Suriya's '24' film in Telugu states stands the best example for it. '24' has been a well made innovative attempt from Surya and Vikram Kumar's combo. The time travel concept has been a brand new genre for the audience down South recent times. Though this movie accumulated good collections in Telugu states and stood as a successful movie, it proved to be the disaster in Tamil Nadu. Don't know why the film failed in TN, but, surely the contrasting result of '24' in Telugu and Tamil states engrossed in lively discussions. At this frame work, Suriya must be grateful for Telugu audience for being received quite well by them.

Having been made as a Sci-Fi thriller, '24' has Samantha in lead actress role. The movie's music was scored by AR Rehaman. Suriya, himself produced the movie on his own banner.

Well, all the credit for the success of the film goes to the Vikram K Kumar for the kind of story he has come up with. The movie had all the elements needed for a commercial hit. Later the acting skills portrayed by Suriya as a son, the father and as a villain are marvelous. The quality in cinematography, great computer graphics, disciplined production values all came together in providing super success to the film.

In spite of good competition from other films Sarrainodu and Supreme in TS & AP states 24 managed to collect 2.4 Crores on day one.

Here is the list of shares collected by 24 in AP & TS including worldwide collections.

Hero Suriya's '24' stood as a decent hit in AP and Telangana with Rs.15.36 crores share collections. Having been made as a Sci-Fi thriller, the movie won the accolades of the critics as well.

'24', however, suffered huge losses in Tamil Nadu and other areas. The movie is reported to have collected Rs.100 crores gross and Rs.54 crores share including all of its versions. Since the movie got its pre release business done for Rs.75 crores, the movie has to be ended up as a failure venture. Interestingly, Tamil version of the movie in Tamil Nadu collected same collections as the film's Telugu version did in Telugu states.

Suriya's 'Singam 3' is under production now. Suriya will be teaming up with Pa Ranjith for his next venture after 'S3'. It is a known news that Pa Ranjith has directed Rajinikanth's 'Kabali' which is hitting the screens on 29th of this month.
